» xVST will celebrate the 10 aniversary! 2017-03-07

Wow! 10 years passed since the first version of xVST !! That young man coding until late on night, learning new languages, technologies, frameworks...

I have been really very busy the last 5 years, and being honest, I continue very busy with my own company (we are five people and increasing)... and my spare time will decreases dramatically in a few weeks (five weeks to be exact)! Now, with 31 years old I'll be father for first time! I made a lot of things in my life, but none is so important as this ... Welcome to this world Aran, my litle daughter ... Your mum and I are building your world, your home, your future and trust me when I say: nothing will make me more happy in this world than see your beautiful face for first time and love you forever.

I would like to say thank you to everyone who helped me with this projecte, the xVST.

I really miss to work on make a better version of xVST, every day I think: "Today you'll find some minutes to code a new feature and improve the bla bla..."

My future plans are:

  • Update the core base to latest Qt (done!)
  • Bring a 64bits version to Windows users (done!)
  • Test and update all (or almost all) the plugins (work in progress - I'll start updating the most important of them).
  • Create a new responsive website (planning)

If this projecte still alive after 10 years, why it cannot stay alive for 10 more years?

PS: I'm scared, lol.

Download the current version from the SVN server. Any help will be welcomed!

» The SVN service has been activated 2008-01-08

I'm glad to announce that the SVN service has been activated with the current project state.

The version uploaded and maintained is the new version of xVideoServiceThief using Qt4! The project is under development, so the code uploaded is incomplete and potentially unstable.

You can checkout the SVN here: http://xviservicethief.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xviservicethief/trunk/

» The new version will be ready soon!!! 2008-01-02

After a time off, I'm ready again to continue encoding the new xVideoServiceThief Qt4 version.

All (maybe almost all, to be exactly) of the base core program is finished (download, convert, list manager, etc...).

Please be patient!!!!! I'll come back with more news!

» Good news for Mac OS X and GNU/Linux users! 2007-10-27

The project is changing from Delphi/Lazarus to C++ using Qt4.

What this means? This means a native support for Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and Windows! with same quality and functionality!

Keep checking this website to know the current state of xVST!

» The project is not Dead/Stopped! 2007-09-27

I'm working every day, fixing and adding new features to xVST.

So, why a new version is not ready yet? The main reason is because I'm having important troubles to detect and fix an IMPORTANT hidden bug, which cause an internal error. The bug is almost localized, but it occurs into a non primary Thread, and it's hard to handle it in real time.

Note for Lazarus users: The future 1.3 Alpha source code will be updated and available to compile with Lazarus. I'm testing/writing the Lazarus code with Lazarus 0.9.23 beta for Windows.
